30 SECONDS — the fast, funny party game for your phone. One phone. Two to eight teams. Thirty seconds on the clock. Describe as many words as you can before time runs out — without saying the word itself! — and rack up points for your team. First to the target score wins. Perfect for parties, family nights, road trips, the pub, or killing time with friends. No setup, no pieces to lose, no accounts — just pass the phone and play. HOW TO PLAY • Create your teams (2–8), each with its own colour. • Pick a deck and choose 5 or 10 words per card. • Hit start — you have 30 seconds to describe the words to your teammates. • Tap each word the moment they guess it. • Time's up? Tap any last-second guesses to count them, then pass to the next team. • First team to reach the target score wins. THREE DECKS • International — words any English speaker will know. • British — a big helping of British culture, plus the classics. • Dutch — Nederlandse woorden, merken en mensen (with universal words too). Thousands of words across the decks, dealt fresh so you can play game after game without repeats. BUILT TO FEEL GREAT • A beautiful, buttery-smooth countdown ring you can read across the room. • Satisfying haptics on every tap. • An audible countdown for the final five seconds, plus a chime and a rich buzzer you can feel — so you know time's up without looking. • The active team's colour floods the screen, so it's always clear whose turn it is. NO NONSENSE • 100% offline. Play anywhere. • No accounts, no sign-ups, no ads. • No data collected. What happens at game night stays at game night. Grab your friends, pick a deck, and let the describing begin. You've got 30 seconds… EULA - https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
